    The Arts and Public Contestation in American History Presentation for a Symposium at Princeton University’s Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies. Oct. 11, 2002 By Michael Kammen Cornell University My purpose in this paper is two-fold. I have attempted to develop a tentative and informal typology of the diverse stimuli and provocations for public conflict in the United States concerning art or “the arts,” very broadly defined. Doing so has involved the compilation of a list of almost eighty contested “episodes” ranging from 1842 to the present and then trying to discern patterns with particular regard for chronology and phasing. I am, after all, a historian by vocation, and consequently the rhythms of periodicity and change seem quite important to me. On the “humanistic side” I have opted to provide mini-narratives for an exemplary selection of these episodes in an effort to illustrate the broad and diverse range of conflicts that have arisen. I have deliberately avoided offering accounts of those conflicts most likely to be familiar to the greatest number of auditors, such as photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe (“The Perfect Moment”) in 1989-91, “The West as America” (1991), and “The Last Act” (the Enola Gay controversy in 1995-96). The case studies I have selected are likely to be familiar to some of you but perhaps not all. In any event, taken together they are certainly representative of the historical diversity of art- related provocations and the kinds that have been most persistent. An approximate “sequence of emergence,” as I see it, acknowledging some important exceptions and deviations, might move along the following lines.

  • Josie Dizon Henson Paintings
    PDF Compressor Pro Résumé JOSIE DIZON HENSON Born in Angeles City, then a small town in the heart of Pampanga, Josefina Dizon Henson, or Josie for short, always knew she would spend her life as an artist. She grew up in a household filled with music and art as her mother, Ines Sadie Henson-Dizon was a piano student of Sister Baptista Battig before she married Vicente Alvarez Dizon in 1929. She learned her art from the guidance of her elder brother Dan, who learned the rudiments of drawing from their father, the late Professor Vicente Alvarez Dizon of the University of the Philippines. Professor Dizon earned his Diploma in Art from the Yale University School of Fine Arts in 1936. In 1939, at the historic International Competition on Contemporary Art of 79 Nations at the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco, California his painting titled “After the Day’s Toil” won First Place by popular vote. The entry of Spain by Salvador Dali won second place, and the entry of the United States by Robert Philipp placed third. The French Impressionist Maurice Utrillo also had an entry but did not win. “After the Day’s Toil” After high school, Josie enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila for a course in Fine Arts. Among her professors were National Artist Victorio Edades in Art History, Galo B. Ocampo in Design and Color, Antonio Garcia Llamas in Portraiture, Virgina Ty-Navarro in Freehand Drawing, Antonio Celis in Still-Life Painting, Diosdado Lorenzo in Landscape Painting and Professor Jose Monti in Sculpture.

  • Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection
    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection Peggy Bacon Laurent Charcoal on paper, 16 ¾” x 13 ¾” Margaret Frances "Peggy" Bacon (b. 1895-d. 1987), an American artist specializing in illustration, painting, and writing. Born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, she began drawing as a toddler (around eighteen months), and by the age of 10 she was writing and illustrating her own books. Bacon studied at the Art Students League from 1915-1920, where her artistic talents truly blossomed under the tutelage of her teacher John Sloan. Artists Reginald Marsh and Alexander Brook (whom she would go on to marry) were part of her artistic circle during her time at the League. Bacon was famous for her humorous caricatures and ironic etchings and drawings of celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s. She both wrote and illustrated many books, and provided artworks for many other people’s publications, in addition to regularly exhibiting her drawings, paintings, prints, and pastels. In addition to her work as a graphic designer, Bacon was a highly accomplished teacher for over thirty years. Her works appeared in numerous magazine publications including Vanity Fair, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Dial, the Yale Review, and the New Yorker. Her vast output of work included etchings, lithographs, and her favorite printmaking technique, drypoint. Bacon’s illustrations have been included in more than 64 children books, including The Lionhearted Kitten. Bacon’s prints are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York.

  • Mayor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients
    Mayor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients 2018/2019 Charles MacKay, Former General Director of the Santa Fe Opera 2018 marked Charles MacKay’s 10th and final season as General Director of The Santa Fe Opera and the culmination of his extraordinary 50-year career, a trajectory that took him from orchestra “pit boy” to impresario. Charles started his career at The Santa Fe Opera in 1968, working in several administrative and artistic capacities until 1978 when he went to work for the Spoleto Festival USA and Festival of Two Worlds. In 1985 he became Executive Director, then General Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis until returning in 2008 to The Santa Fe Opera as General Director. Only the third General Director in Santa Fe Opera history, Charles leaves The Santa Fe Opera an important legacy to build upon, including improved infrastructure and enhanced front-of-house facilities; administrative buildings, beautiful grounds, Information Technology, and rehearsal facilities; increased net assets from $61 to $120 million, and an increased operating budget from $17 million to $24 million. He oversaw the strengthening of education and community programs serving over 50,000 people annually. All in all, Charles passed on an institution whose annual economic impact to the region is approximately $250 million. Myra Krien, International Performer, Choreographer, and Educator Marie Romero Cash was born into a Santa Fe family of sculptors, tinsmiths, retablo painters, and colcha stitchers. Her parents, National Endowment for the Arts fellowship recipients Emilio and Senaida Romero helped revive the traditions of hammered-tin work and stitchery.
